Writings and Rants
Joe's Boy Scout pack held their annual Pinewood Derby races this past weekend. But for Patrick and Joe, the fun started all the way back in mid-November when we made our annual sojourn to Larry and Dede Mayfield's house for assistance getting the car's shape just right.

I've been up and going for 21 hours, so I can't do it justice tonight, but I wanted to get this placeholder down- so I would remember to come back and reflect on the fantastic Broadway play I saw tonight, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, based on the book I liked so much 10+ years ago.
